Tips from the Community

Open-air cellar The abandoned open-air cellar with its storage rooms and ventilation shafts is located on a slope that was expanded at the beginning of the last century with side walls and a vaulted ceiling. The vault was then covered with earth again. Open-air cellars and earth cellars were the preferred means of storing perishable goods until the invention of modern refrigerators. In the Sömmnitz cellar, beer was stored layered on ice. Hence the common name "ice cellar". Later, at the beginning of the nineties, electricity was even installed and the cellar was used for parties.

The Brahmetal is located in the very north-east of the district and stretches between the municipality of Brahmenau and the city of Gera, where the Brahme flows into the White Elster. The Brahme is characterized by near-natural river sections with remnants of floodplain forest rich in old and dead wood.
